Philosophy
Davis College is a private, undergraduate,
coeducational Bible college within the conservative
evangelical tradition that fosters the spiritual,
professional, intellectual and personal development of
students for ministry. Its philosophy views the direct study
of the Bible as the primary means to a successful life and
ministry. Its three-year diploma, AAS and BRE degree
programs provide an integration of Biblical, general and
professional studies. The one-year certificate program
focuses primarily upon Biblical studies.
As a
Bible college, the Bible is the major curriculum component
and the integrating factor of all other courses. General
education is essential to a balanced, broad based
undergraduate education that gives the students a basic
understanding of the world in which they live and minister.
Professional studies develop the student's competencies,
skills, abilities and knowledge needed for service and
leadership within church-related ministries. In its
entirety, the educational and practical experience of the
College is designed to enable students to know the Word of
God, to apply it to every aspect of life and to minister it
effectively to the world. In summary, Davis College,
formerly Practical Bible College, provides students with the
education and experience to develop a thoroughly Biblical
worldview and lifestyle.
